She\u2019s the best date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ringing in his 25th birthday, the breakthrough star joined Bridgerton\u2019s latest leading lady Yerin Ha, and SNL alum Bowen Yang to co-host the fete at Chinese Tuxedo ahead of the Year of the Horse, which officially begins on February 17.<\/p>\n<p>The multi-level space\u2014once New York City\u2019s first Chinese theater\u2014was filled with red paper lanterns and tassel-adorned fish-shaped ornaments suspended from the ceiling to ward off evil and provide abundance in the new year. Over 200 guests from the Asian American and Pacific Islander community were dressed in their celebratory finery, indulging in hamachi crudo, oysters, spring rolls, and bespoke Hennessy cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite part of New Year is the food,\u201d Ha laughed as she made her way through the party. \u201cI\u2019m Korean and I love eating the rice cake soup that is traditionally served on New Year\u2019s. I also love sweet rice cakes, and anything that my family makes from scratch, like seaweed soup. Food is such a big part of my culture and identity.\u201d With Williams by her side, Ha later gave remarks about the importance of heritage and wished everyone a happy and prosperous New Year in Korean.<\/p>\n<p>As the party unfolded, attendees were swooning over Williams. And wherever he went, the crowd followed. The actor graciously posed for every single selfie request and took his time to socialize with fans, before setting his sights on the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p>Williams was the first one to ditch his jacket and get the crowd going. Minutes later, people swarmed around him, including The Summer I Turned Pretty\u2019s Lola Tung\u2014who could be heard complimenting his dancing skills as they twirled each other around to ABBA\u2019s Gimme! Gimme! Gimmie! (A Man After Midnight). Williams\u2019s mom, Sunny, joined him soon after as the DJ started to play Dancing on My Own by Robyn. When the first beats of All the Things She Said by t.A.T.u\u2014Heated Rivalry\u2019s unofficial theme song\u2014could be heard through the speakers, Williams got even more riled up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yerin Ha and Hudson WilliamsAstrid Stawiarz\/Getty Images \u201cThe past few months have been crazy, but I\u2019m so grateful&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,81753],"class_list":["post-473526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-vogue-parties"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
